Harbour Shakti Homestay

Harbour Shakti Homestay Bed and Breakfast in Lyttelton, Christchurch, New Zealand

Here's a wonderful opportunity to take time out and energize yourself in the mystical atmosphere of the Crater Basin & Lyttelton Harbour.

This cosy home has a great presence of peace, warmth and plenty of creativity to feast your eyes upon.

Harbour Shakti Homestay's intention is to live harmoniously with the rest of life. We use eco friendly products and organic vegetarian foods.

Stunning hill top views overlook Quail Island, Diamond Harbour and through to Lyttelton Port. Relax inside or on the veranda to watch countless ships and yachts sail by, Sea Kayaking, Paragliders in flight or enjoy a bird's eye view of the recreational field and its activities.

Within the Lyttelton Harbour Basin there are stunning walks through native bush, rock formations, spectacular views, tunnels and other interesting structures left from the war days.

There are hikes up the summit of the surrounding hills or you can take it easy and meander around the many Bays.

Located in the Harbour is Quail Island. It's an exciting place to explore. Many years ago ships were wrecked around the Islands shore and in high tide they look like a whales rib cage coming out of the water.

One Queen size room available. Beautifully furnished with modern conveniences.
